Wart and Verruca Removal

Looking for Wart and Verruca Removal Near You?

Warts and verrucae are common skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are typically small, firm lumps that appear on the fingers, knuckles, or palms. In contrast, verrucae form on the soles of the feet or toes and can be more uncomfortable, often feeling like standing on a needle. While warts are generally not painful, they can sometimes become itchy or irritating. Verrucae, on the other hand, can be more painful, especially when walking or applying pressure.

Both warts and verrucae are highly contagious, spreading through skin contact or via contaminated surfaces such as pool floors, showers, or towels. Scratching or picking at the wart or verruca can cause the virus to spread to other areas of the skin, leading to new growths.

Treatment Options for Wart and Verruca Removal

If you’re looking for effective treatments for wart or verruca removal, there are several options available:

  1. Cryotherapy (Cryosurgery): This method involves applying liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart or verruca, causing it to fall off. Several treatments may be required over a few weeks for full effectiveness.
  2. Surgical Excision: In some cases, warts can be removed by shaving or clipping them off using a scalpel. This approach is commonly used for filiform warts, which are typically found on the face or neck.
  3. Electrosurgery and Curettage: This combination treatment uses electrocautery to burn off the wart and then scrapes it away using a curette. This can be done either together or as separate procedures.

The wart removal process is typically quick, often lasting just a few minutes. The procedures are minimally uncomfortable, and anaesthesia is rarely needed, as the surrounding healthy skin is unaffected. You can expect minimal recovery time, and in most cases, you’ll be able to resume your normal activities shortly after the procedure.
